Week 11 - WISC-V (Children)
What does the WISC-V measure? - Answer-measures general IQ & specific cognitive domains
ability to process new info, learn, solve problems - Answer-General fluid intelligence
stored knowledge, acquired over the years - Answer-general crystallised intelligence
controversy of intelligence? - Answer-whether or not underlying global aspect of intelligence exists
types of IQ tests - Answer-1. stanford binet
2. wechsler intelligence suite
indicators of degree to which subtests measure general intelligence - Answer-G-loading
The tester should allow ___ minutes for the primary subtests in the WISC-V - Answer-65 - 80 minutes
Reverse Rule (WISC-V) for block design - Answer-if a child doesnt obtain a perfect score on either 1st or
2nd items, administer preceding items in reverse order until child obtains perfect scores on 2
consecutive items
, discontinue rule - Answer-discontinue after 2 consecutive scores of 0
rotation errors - Answer-a rotation of 30deg+
gap and misalignment errors - Answer-gaps greater than 6mm and not corrected int he time limit
dimensional errors - Answer-when the maximum dimension for a square/diamond shaped design is
exceeded at any time during construction
e.g., child aligns 3 blocks in a row when constructing a 2x2 design
performance on intelligence test is a potential predictor of what - Answer-academic achievement, High-
school graduation, income
The Wechsler scales displaced the stanford binet to become the dominant clinical measure of
intelligence - Answer-True
why did wechsler create his tests? - Answer-for clinical use
How did wechsler express IQ scores - Answer-standard scores
Which subtest remains constant in WISC-III perceptual organisation index (POI), the WISC-IV perceptual
reasoning Index (PRI) and the WISC-V visual spatial index (VSI)? - Answer-block design
Which of the WISC-V composites allows one subtest substitution - Answer-FSIQ
Wechsler selected verbal knowledge items that measured the sort of things that required academic &
specialised knowledge - Answer-false
